17 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre; the same is called Hebron, in the land of Canaan.
18 And the field and the cave that was therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a burying-place by the sons of Heth.
Genesis 24 Intro: Oath of Abraham's servant -- History of the betrothal and marriage of Isaac and Rebekah.
1 And now Abraham was old, being well stricken in age; and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.
2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had; Put forth I pray thee thy hand under my hand, and I will make thee swear before the Lord, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son, of the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I dwell; but thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
3 And the servant said unto him, Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land, then I must needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest.
4 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
5 The Lord God of heaven which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that swear unto me, saying, Unto thee will I give this land;
6 He shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
7 And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this thine oath, only bring not my son thither again.
8 And the servant put his hand under the hand of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.
